By Valentine Amanze
Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has suspended all the operations of the Imo State Environmental Transformation Commission (ENTRACO), with immediate effect.
The suspension followed the report of an incident that occurred in Owerri, linked to ENTRACO operations, which claimed the life of a person and left another in critical situation in the hospital on Monday, November 10, 2025.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary/Special Adviser (Media), Mr. Oguwike Nwachuku, the governor said that he was not unmindful of other recent ugly incidents where the mode of operations of ENTRACO was brought to question by members of the public.
Besides, the governor warned that the immediate suspension of ENTRACO operations was not a license for members of the public to take traffic, environmental, and other laws into their hands as those found violating the laws would pay dearly for it.
